What are the speed limits in Gibraltar?

Question

Accepted Answer

Unless signs show otherwise, the speed limit in Gibraltar is 50 km/h. Buses and goods vehicles are limited to 35 km/h, and lower signed limits, including 30 km/h in some areas, apply to all vehicles.
Gibraltar uses kilometres per hour for all speed limits, and traffic drives on the right.
The limits:
The national maximum is 50 km/h wherever no other limit is signed.
Buses and all vehicles registered as goods vehicles must not exceed 35 km/h.
Where signs show a lower limit, it applies to all classes of vehicle. Some areas have a 30 km/h limit, and stretches of Europa Road have limits ranging from 30 km/h to 50 km/h.
Enforcement:
Fixed speed cameras were introduced as a first phase at Devil's Tower Road, Europa Advance Road and Rosia Road, roads where speeding had been identified as a particular problem. During a test period, around 1,700 drivers were recorded exceeding the limit over a single weekend.
The scheme required changes to the Traffic Act 2005. Fines are dealt with through Gibraltar Car Parks Limited.
The Royal Gibraltar Police have reported drivers recorded at over twice the limit for dangerous driving, which is a far more serious offence than speeding.
Electronic speed display signs and painted limit markings on the approach to cameras remind drivers of the limit.
Tips for visiting drivers:
If your car shows miles per hour, remember that 50 km/h is about 31 mph and 30 km/h is about 19 mph.
Roads are narrow and busy with pedestrians, scooters and motorbikes, so the low limits are realistic for most of Gibraltar.
The Gibraltar Highway Code sets out the rules in full.
